Walkman背后的电子先驱索尼启动了自己的区块链“Soneium”

索尼 Block Solutions Labs (SBSL) 是索尼集团和新加坡 Startale Labs 的联合项目，其背后的团队描述了 Soneium——技术上是以太坊之上的第 2 层网络

Sony is launching "Soneium," a general-purpose blockchain platform. The layer-2 network on Ethereum is designed to support a diverse ecosystem of gaming, finance and entertainment apps.

索尼正在推出通用区块链平台“Soneium”。以太坊上的第 2 层网络旨在支持游戏、金融和娱乐应用程序的多元化生态系统。

The launch follows a four month-long test period that involved participation from 14 million wallets, according to Sony Block Solutions Labs (SBSL), a joint project between Sony Group and Singapore-based Startale Labs that is building the network.

索尼区块解决方案实验室 (SBSL) 是索尼集团和正在建设该网络的新加坡 Startale Labs 的联合项目，该实验室表示，此次发布是在为期四个月的测试期之后进行的，有 1400 万个钱包参与。

The chain aims to "bridge the gap between web2 and web3 audiences, especially for the creators, fans and community,” SBSL said in a statement shared with CoinDesk. “The platform prioritizes user-centric design, simplifying blockchain interactions and evolving web3 from a niche hobby into an everyday experience.”

SBSL 在与 CoinDesk 分享的一份声明中表示，该链旨在“弥合 web2 和 web3 受众之间的差距，特别是对于创作者、粉丝和社区而言。”“该平台优先考虑以用户为中心的设计，简化区块链交互，并将 web3 从将小众爱好融入日常体验。”

The team tapped Optimism's OP Stack to build out their network — a customizable framework that lets developers use optimistic rollup technology to transact on Ethereum quickly and at a low cost.

该团队利用 Optimism 的 OP Stack 来构建他们的网络，这是一个可定制的框架，允许开发人员使用 Optimism Rollup 技术在以太坊上快速、低成本地进行交易。

Other companies using the OP Stack include the U.S. crypto exchanges Coinbase and Kraken, which use the tech to power their popular Base and Ink networks. Uniswap, the leading decentralized exchange, and Worldcoin, the Sam Altman-founded digital passport, also use OP Stack to power their layer-2 blockchain networks.

其他使用 OP Stack 的公司包括美国加密货币交易所 Coinbase 和 Kraken，它们使用该技术为其受欢迎的 Base 和 Ink 网络提供支持。 Uniswap（领先的去中心化交易所）和 Worldcoin（Sam Altman 创立的数字护照）也使用 OP Stack 来为其第 2 层区块链网络提供支持。

In many cases, the Optimism Foundation, which stewards the development of the OP Stack, has awarded grants to companies that agreed to use its tech. SBSL declined to comment on how many OP tokens they would receive as part of this deal, though previous reporting indicates that Optimism's grants can be substantial.

在许多情况下，负责 OP Stack 开发的 Optimism 基金会会向同意使用其技术的公司提供资助。 SBSL 拒绝评论他们将在这笔交易中获得多少 OP 代币，尽管之前的报道表明 Optimism 的赠款可能很大。

In August 2023, Coinbase received up to 118 million OP tokens — valued at $182 million at the time, or $192 million at today's prices — to use OP Stack for Base chain. CoinDesk also reported that Kraken received up to 25 million OP tokens, valued at roughly $100 million, when it agreed to use the OP Stack in January 2024 (now valued at $42 million).

2023 年 8 月，Coinbase 收到了多达 1.18 亿个 OP 代币（当时价值 1.82 亿美元，按今天的价格计算为 1.92 亿美元），以将 OP Stack 用于 Base 链。 CoinDesk 还报道称，Kraken 在 2024 年 1 月同意使用 OP Stack 时收到了多达 2500 万个 OP 代币，价值约 1 亿美元（目前价值 4200 万美元）。

Similar grants are doled out by Optimism competitors like Polygon and Arbitrum, each of whom is dueling to build its own interconnected web of blockchains.

Polygon 和 Arbitrum 等 Optimism 竞争对手也提供了类似的资助，它们都在努力构建自己的互联区块链网络。
